Modern top tier models are more expensive but they take care of all these issues. I’m on my third Robot vacuum and I know exactly the prep and work you’re taking about.
New models can identify obstacles like shoes, cords, socks, and pet waste to avoid them entirely. So no need to clear obstacles before running it.
They also can mop, refill the mop water, and clean and dry their own mop pads. You can even get docks that are fully plumbed in that don’t have tanks to be refilled or emptied at all.
They really have come a long way, as long as you’re willing to spend the money.
We have ours set to run in all the main rooms of the apartment every day, including a deep clean in the kitchen. We just have to empty and fill the tanks on the dock about every day to day and a half. The dock portion that cleans the mop pads needs cleaning about once a month.
We have a dog so that little bit of maintenance is more than worth it.
I have one and i have not used it in a while I found the prep to be just as much work as cleaning the apartment myself.
